IIRC, it's an add-on to PS (or LR) as opposed to a stand-alone program.

Photoshop cant read or convert raw files, which is a specialized task. Adobe off load this to camera raw so it can be updated seperatly for new camera raw formats etc and it shares a lot of code with lightroom (developer module).

Camera RAW, for a long time was the only way one could process RAW files on a computer. I remember when Lightroom came out and it was mind-boggling what it could do.

 

All Camera RAW is at this point, is a light shell of Lightroom, designed to work on single images as a time, as one does in Photoshop.

 

All the professional photogs I know and work with use Capture One, myself included. Only people I know who make a living with photography and still use Lightroom are the wedding crowd and amateurs.

Yeah, I managed to convince one of my friends to make the switch to Capture One. He's a portrait photographer and has jumped on the C1 train due to its color tuning controls and such.

If you do any tethering at all, Capture One is king.

LR has alot more color preset options if you're into that sort of thing, and it has a DAM system that works well if you really leverage it. but you REALLY have to leverage that heavily for it to make any sense to bother using.

 

Capture One is designed more for tethering one session/catalog per job, and organizing your data independent of whatever software you intend to browse in. That's why us commercial shooters use it.

 

Client/Agency could be looking at them in Windows Explorer, Bridge, Finder, who knows? So why would we use a program designed to use a proprietary asset management library? A key-worded cataloging system is of no use to us when you organize work by date and client.

Today, in fact, I needed to pull up 7 jobs from 8 years ago and reliever them to my longest standing client because they lost them somehow.

 

Took about 10 minutes to find and upload directly via Dropbox Transfer. Didn't need to open LR, Bridge, or Capture One
